First 20 Minutes: The Amazing Spider-Man

It’s that time of year again when we start seeing the summer blockbuster movies heading into our local cinemas. With those summer blockbuster movies there’s always a slew of videogames released as tie-ins to them. This year, one of the biggest movies is the reboot of the Spider-Man franchise starting with The Amazing Spider-Man. The videogame related to this movie is developed by Beenox and published by Activision, the same guys behind the last couple of Spider-Man games that haven’t really gone down well with fans of the series. However, this new game has something that got those same fans instantly excited; an open world.

Our verdict for this latest Spider-Man game is forthcoming but, just for those people who can’t wait that long, we decided that we’d show you the first 20 minutes of the game. This could go one of two ways, it could help you wait for the review or it could leave you frothing at the mouth. Find out which way you’ll go by pressing the play button on the video below.

The Amazing Spider-Man is out now for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii with the PC version coming on August 10th, 2012.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.

I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!

I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
